A substance \(X\) decomposes in solution following the first order kinetics. Flask I contains 1 L of 1 M solution of \(X\) and flask II contain 100 mL of 0.6 M solution. After 8 hours, the concentration, of \(X\) in flask I becomes 0.25 M .
The time required for concentration to become 0.3 M in flask II is .........

  1. A 6 hrs
  2. B 5 hrs
  3. C 4 hrs
  4. D 2 hrs
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4 hrs

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Flask I \(\therefore \quad t_{1 / 2}=4 \mathrm{hrs} .\) Flask II A first order reaction is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. Hence, the time required is 4 hours.
